I have to do it all the time, and I hate it. It's completely outrageous that an Off-License is bothering its customers over WHO is going to consume the alcohol! Ultimately, you can't really stop it happening, just make sure anybody without sufficient ID doesn't come into the view of the staff who wi...

And while we're talking about these things, why do the Sainsbury's till drawers still pop open after a card transaction? This used to be needed so the staff member could put in the store copy of the signed receipt, but since Chip-and-PIN was introduced this is no longer required. M&S stopped th...

Also, do you know - some nights the tills need updating between 2300 and 2330? You can't buy anything. The store is open but you need to browse until the checkout re-opens. This has caught me out several times coming off a late shift at work hungry for my tea. Like I said, not a fan. Never understo...

I still don't understand why Morrisons didn't adopt the Safeway brand and their megastore formats. Far better than anything this wasp-coloured hideousity has ever churned out.

It features a 'Freeview' box so it's a lot more recent than that

That was their last campaign with the red logo, around 2003 as I recall. You can the direction they're going with the orange background and all.

My parents' Miele is pretty good.

That means there's going to be some more tasty hybrid branding going on, don't forget that half or more of East Coast's fleet is still in the GNER colours that National Express received them in. The UK's only profitable train operation will be running with a hybrid of 3 or potentially 4 operators co...

When I was finishing my A-Levels in Nottingham a couple of years ago, I'd regularly go out with my friends and yes, I'm guilty of having drunk far too much on a number of occasions. Back then, Trent students used to get right on my nerves, but I rationalised that was probably due to jealousy on my p...

I had one of these marketing disasters: http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/media/images/phones/lobster/700/zoom_front.jpg Picked it up for £23 from Virgin Mobile (when they were trying to pretend the whole thing never happened) which is an unbelievable price for a phone with Windows Mobile (a very good ...

This is quickly turning the same way every railway related discussion eventually seems to end. Next you'll be arguing over whether HSTs are loco and stock or a Unit.

I thought that SPT just acted like any of the English PTE's does... in which case they certainly do have a hand in rail; West Yorkshire PTE (who trade as Metro) for example actually own a number of the trains that Northern operate, including the last of the 155s which were not chopped in half to for...
